My experience also includes migrating legacy systems to React, developing design system foundations, and collaborating closely with product, design, and client teams to deliver accessible and engaging user experiences.Outside of work, I\'m a huge basketball fan, and a bit of a nerd when it comes to all things airplanes.I\'m always open to connecting — whether it\'s about technology, basketball, or aviation.
